Why People With Type O Blood Are Uniquely Special

According to the American Red Cross, only nine percent of people in the United States even have Type O negative blood. And apparently, every two seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion. So... if so many people need blood, why do we covet Type O blood so strongly? This is the real reason people with type O blood are so unique.

Type O. According to Higher Perspective, if you have Type O blood, there are a whole host of disadvantages you may have health-wise. “They’re prone to ulcers, thyroid issues, low hormone levels, and iodine deficiency,” reports Higher Perspective.

Other issues. Those with Type O blood are, apparently, also more likely to retain water, have problems with obesity/their weight, and have tumors. So why do we need Type O blood so badly..?

Personality traits. According to several different sites around the Internet, certain personality traits can be ascribed to people with Type O blood. Healthy Food Team reports, “people with this blood type play important roles in any society, even to this day. The leadership, proactivity, energy, and ability to stay focused are amount the best qualities of people with Type O.” None of this, however, has been scientifically proven... we aren’t sure if it’s even possible.
